I’ve been looking at some really interesting photographic artworks on chrisjordan.com. In his series called ‘Running the numbers’ Chris illustrates some startling statistics related to American consumption. One image is a depiction of 2 million plastic bottles, apparently the number used every 5 minutes in the USA.

I walk past this place on my way to work, maybe it’s because I’m a bit of a type geek but it always makes me smile. : )

My wife says I should read more. And she’s right. I might be more inclined if my shelves were stacked with some of these design classics (Things Magazine – The Pelican Project). http://www.thingsmagazine.net/projects/pelican.htm. Beautiful looking items all of them. The covers were famously re-designed by my mate Jan Tschichold in 1948 and the consistency of the layouts really appeal to me. Throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties the covers were adorned by stunning illustration, photography and some very interesting typography. Right then, where’s me bookmark?
